With the inspiration from our MIUI Forum administrator, Nana, I have decided to make my very own series named "MIUI With Marcus". The MWM series is written with a simple purpose - to let MIUI users know more about MIUI features. I will use my own knowledge and experiences to explain how to use the mentioned MIUI features. Feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes in explaining them.

This year my first MWM thread is taking quite some time to produce, because I am learning up a skill of video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro. I plan to create a video in each of my MWM series starting with this one. Today, we are going to cover on the features in MIUI Gallery App. I will include most of the features available with MIUI Gallery App in each series and hopefully you all can enjoy more with your MIUI device(s)!

Gallery App is one of the compulsory system apps in every smartphone, which help us to organize our photos and videos in one place, which we call it album. MIUI has its own designed gallery app integrated with rich features supported by Mi Cloud. Apart from displaying photos and videos, MIUI makes it further by having useful features such as photo editor, video editor, collage maker, slideshow maker and more!

Features in MIUI Gallery App

1) Photo Editor

Do you know that MIUI provides extensive settings for photo editing? We can not only just edit it by cropping or rotating, we can also adjust the photo atribute such as brightness, contrast and saturation, modify with beautify effects and filters, doodle, stickers, text, mosaic and even erase feature.

Here is a video which I made to give you a quick view on how to use MIUI Photo Editor:

If you don't want to watch the video above, you can read the brief review below.

Beautify

This is a quick filter that pre-defined with type of photo.

Crop

We can crop our photo in various ratio, or rotate/flip the photo.

Filter

Filter provides us more variety of photo effects for our photos.

Sticker

MIUI Photo Editor has added all kind of cute and interesting stickers to play with.

Doodle

We can also add our hand drawing or highlight on our photos.

Text

This is another interesting way to add text or bubble chat on our photos.

Adjust

We can also adjust the photo brightness, contrast or other setting to fine tune the photo.

Mosaic

Need to censor something on photo? You can use mosaic to tamper your photo.

Erase

This is one of MIUI 9 features, which we are able to erase object or lines from the photo.

This is only applicable for objects or line in plain background, else it will mess up your photo.

Verdict

It is amazing that such stock photo editor can packed with so many fun settings to do with our photos. We can just skip the third party apps and let MIUI Photo Editor to do all the "photoshop" works. Stock features are always better than the installed third party apps. Though it is not as high end as Snapseed Photo Editor, MIUI Photo Editor is sufficient for a typical phone user like myself.

Next series I will be covering on another feature in MIUI Gallery App. Let it be a surprise for the next topic and please stay tuned!
